Sant' Eustorgio

The Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio is situated on one of the most important roads of the city of Milan. According to an ancient tradition, still to date, the procession taking each new bishop of Milan into the city leaves from here.

The left corner of the gabled façade hosts a marble pulpit, sculpted to replace the original one, from which – according to the tradition – Saint Peter Martyr preached.

The 73-metre-high bell tower, built between 1297 and 1309, is the tallest of the city and bears a star, symbol of the Magi, on its pinnacle.
